The Feast of Wonders
To all Charlotte Mason Homeschooling Mamas in Greenwich and surrounding areas!
Starting on Tuesday, May 12th 2026, we are beginning a local gathering for families who are currently using—or are genuinely interested in—the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education and who desire to build community around a shared commitment to Christ and His Word.
The Feast of Wonders is a monthly time set apart for Mothers and children to come together and share in a “living education” through Nature study, Poetry, Music, Art, and focus on the Lord and Scripture. This gathering is especially suited for children ages 6 and under, though older siblings are welcome to join and enjoy the feast.
The purpose of this gathering is to cultivate and strengthen a Charlotte Mason community in our area—one marked by simplicity, beauty, and a shared commitment to this way of learning, and a like-minded community of families who seek to order their homes, education, and lives in submission to Scripture and a living faith in Christ.
Our afternoons will include a brief Chapel gathering for prayer, hymns and a short reading of the Scriptures. A nature walk to a nearby park for observation, journaling and snacks, and a gentle indoor time of picture study, music appreciation, poetry, and living book readings.
Every Month we will focus on a specific theme. The month of May will be "flowers".
Location: Greenwich - CT.
- Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
- Frequency: Monthly
(Possibly transition to a Bi-weekly/Weekly Co-OP in the Fall/New Year)
If you are a Charlotte Mason family—or are sincerely interested in learning more about this approach—we would be glad to connect with you.

(West) Orlando, FL – Nature Group
Hi! We are a small and simple CM preschool nature group focused for ages 3-6 (siblings welcome!). We meet monthly on Thursday mornings at 10am to explore different parks/preserves/etc. mostly on the west side of Orlando, including Clermont, Winter Garden, Ocoee, etc.
Because our children are younger and not in formal lessons yet, the meetings are very casual with the children mostly just exploring, playing, and us enjoying the nature trails together while we encourage observation through modeling and simple game ideas Charlotte Mason provides in her Home Education Volume.
I hope this group can be a Christ-centered community for mothers and children as we seek to glorify God through our home education journey. Please reach out if you're interested, we'd love to have you join!
